Rudd's character, real-estate agent Peter Klaven - rhymes with craven - is a nice guy, engaged to a nice girl, played by Rashida Jones. No problem... until, as he approaches his wedding day, he realizes with a spiraling horror that he has no male friends. (Apparently he went to an all-girls' college, if there are any left.)

When the award was presented to the translator, Natasha Wimmer, the author himself was a thoughtless corpse decomposing in his lime-strewn grave.Awards should be given to the best book.
